With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In Whom His world rejoices;
Who, from our mother's arms,
Hath blest us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours to-day.
2 O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessèd peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
3 All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son, and Him who reigns
With Them in highest heaven:
The one Eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: NUN DANKET ALLE GOTT
